Batman.<\/p>\n<div class=\"didYouKnow\"><b>Did You Know? <\/b>The Penguin (Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot) is a Gotham City supervillain and an enemy of Batman. He was introduced by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, he first appeared in Detective Comics #58 (December 1941). One of Batman&#8217;s oldest foes, the Penguin is often presented as a gentleman of crime, often developing elaborate schemes whilst presenting himself as innocent of many of his activities. An eccentric criminal mastermind, he is well-known for his love of ornithology and use of technology-fitted umbrellas. More modern depictions have shown him as the manager of the Iceberg Lounge, a popular nightclub which serves as a front for his illegal financial stature.<\/p>\n<p>An icon since the Golden Age, the Penguin was a mainstay of Batman&#8217;s rogues gallery, often paired alongside villains like The Joker and Catwoman. The character was also popularized during the 1960s Batman series, where he was portrayed by Burgess Meredith. Elements of the show&#8217;s depiction would also influence future versions of the character, including more explicit bird-like features and personality quirks.
